"When it comes to street food, Mexico City’s right up there with Hong Kong and Shanghai for world-class diversity. The family who owns this three-branch longtimer hails from the capital south of the border and celebrates its vibrant foodways with an array of specialties that include huaraches — thickish masa “flatbreads” topped with everything from chorizo to cactus — and their close cousins, bean-stuffed tlacoyos, as well as various alambres: mixed meat-and-veggie grills accompanied by homemade corn tortillas. (Pictured is the alambre al pastor — a dish that owes its entire existence to Mexico’s Arab immigrants, whose influence on meat cookery shows in the prefix “al.”)" - Ruth Tobias
